From USA Today best-selling author Gigi Pandian comes a modern tale of ancient intrigue.

Unpacking her belongings in her new hometown of Portland, Oregon, herbalist and reformed alchemist Zoe Faust can't help but notice she's picked up a stowaway. Dorian Robert-Houdin is a living, breathing three-and-half-foot gargoyle—not to mention a master of French cuisine—and he needs Zoe's expertise to decipher a centuries-old text. Zoe, who's trying to put her old life behind her, isn't so sure she wants to reopen her alchemical past ... until the dead man on her porch leaves her no choice.

The performance of this book was terrific. I would happily read more books performed by this narrator. The story was promising, but slightly annoying in that the character continually 'forgot' things, or couldn't quite figure things out. This made her character being am alchemist a lot less believable... but, it's a story with a gargoyle, so...

Pretty good, but a little frustrating

Cute concept but it got old quick. Skipped ahead several chapters and I did not miss anything.

Formulaic

this book seems to be written by an amateur. It's almost like the author pleated 8th grade English composition, learned all about how to write a proper story, and then applied it to this book. The story itself is not so bad. The author team, wanted to let everyone know what a great job she did researching alchemy, Portland, etc the facts around the story we're not heading or subtle, it just seems so childish. as for the narrator, she was okay for the most part, except there were several times when you could hear her clear her throat. You would think the publisher would have done a better job at editing. I would not intend to read any of the future accidental alchemist mystery books.
